AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY.


THE POIOAAC FLATS APPROPRIATION.
The House river and harbor committee have
about completed their work. They have gone
over the entire appropriation bill in the rough and
expect to-day to take final action ON it as a whole
There is given 800 900 for the improvement OF the
Potomac flats, with the provision that none OF
that sum shall be expended to reclaim any land
as to the title Of which there is any question.
the total OF the bill is little short Of seven and
half million dollars. The reason for giving only
10000 for the Potomac flats was that there was
up TO the 1St OF November, as shown by the en-
g1neers report, over S4OO, 600 unexpended and the
committee thought that half a million would be
coming season.

dispatch from Robert L. Park, son-in-lsw OF Mrs.
Holt:
secretary Lamar and Mrs. Holt were married
by Rev. William Park at ten O'Clock this morning"
This dispatch was received at the department
about one O'Clock and was the first intelligence OF
the event that had taken place In Macon Assist
ant Secretary Muldrow, Mr.. L. q. c. Lamar,
IT,, and others holding intimate relations
with the Secretary received their first
knowledge that the Secretary even intended
to get married at this time from this dispatch. The
Secretary said nothing to his children or intimate
friends here OF this marriage when he le the city,
and In reply TO all rumorS the uniform reply has
been made that they knew nothing about the In
tended marriage and did not believe that he would
get married at this time. All his friends, however,
say mat this marriage Is extremely characteristic
OF the Secretary.
The fact that the children OF the Secretary and
his intimate friends here have received no word
from him, is not construed to be an Intentional
slight on his part. He has a kindly nature, and
the most anectiOnate relations existed between
him and his children. 1t Is thought that the mar
rage was rather hastily determined upon. and that
In The excitement Of the approaching event the

Nine Charred Bodies Still Awaiting
Identification At Republic, Ohio.
TIFF1N, OHIO, JAM 5.-The scene OF the wreck on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is fast losing its
horrible shape, and by noon to-day every
vestige OF the disaster will disappear. The
track which was torn up for twenty yards
and and broken :. cars have all been removed,
ana Iramc Is again resumed. All that re-
mains TO tell the tale Is a few charred
tlmDefs which are being covered to-day by the
gentle snow, and the horribly burned trunks OF
nine bodies, which were dishgured beyond recOg-
milton. These have been cared for by the under
taker at Republic, and will be kept as long as pos
s1ble so that friends may identity them. Every
piece, Of burned clothing, keys and every
h has ). been gathered up to aid in the iden-
t1ncation OF the bodies These will be held by the
coroner, who will Immediately institute a
thorough investigation. The responsibility of the
accident Is now placed upon the freight conduc-
tor, Fletcher, who pulled out Of siding four miles
west OF Republic without ORDERS intending to
make the siding at Republic for the passenger
train. He missed his calculation Just one mile,
and the ashes OF the unknown victims testify to
his criminal careleSSneSS

safety OF their friends, but not few still in
doubt.
